Ghost Story Island

Hemlock Harbor is a town with a secret. Restless spirits are said to haunt its shores, but no one knows who they are, what they want — or how to get rid of them. Can you hunt the ghosts of Hemlock Harbor and uncover the mystery that will set them free?

Salt is believed to protect from evil spirits, as used by one of the citizens on Ghost Story Island.

In the archive task of the Hemlock Herald building where you turn the handles to search through old newspapers, a box in the lower left corner is labeled “Balloon Boy articles” – Balloon Boy is a running gag that started with Counterfeit Island. Also in the archive room, there are boxes labeled “errata” (meaning printing errors) and “lorem ipsum” (a common placeholder text).

This is the first time you hear a Poptropican speak, and it’s Fiona sneaking up behind you asking, “Are you looking for someone?” Many players have reported being scared by the sudden unexpected whispery sound!

The poster of a ghost with a red circle and slash on it (found on Main Street) is a reference to the Ghostbusters icon.

On November 21, 2011, a members-only Ghost Hunter Suit was released, but it had to be earned as a prize from the “Spook Central” mini-game. Several ghosts were scattered across Poptropica, and you were given a Plasma Net, Ghost Files, and an EMF detector to help you track them down. The Headless Horseman was on 24 Carrot, Sweet William’s ghost was on Shrink Ray, the Bell Witch was on Wild West, Deogen was on Steamworks, and the Brown Lady was on Skullduggery.

Major glitch. I got up to giving Fiona the locket and the note but she keeps saying to tell Jane the baker that she sent me, but I already have. I checked in my inventory and I still have the ghost tracking devices. When I talk to Jane, she says “Good Luck”. Please help me.

she tells you a small backstory about valiant and flatbottom about that flatbottom was trying to trick valiant to get fiona then you get a scrapbook of cherished moments you should read it then go to the fountain use the sardines to get rid of the seagull to get the ring you should take care of that from there

Get in your blimp and fly towards the center of the map, and click on the bubble that says “play spook central now”. You’ll find yourself in a room with a female scientist working on a large machine. Talk to her, and she’ll tell you that some ghosts were accidentally set loose throughout Poptropica. She asks you to find them for her, and that she’ll make it worth your time. Then she gives you some things to catch the ghosts with: a log that shows you which island each ghost is on, a net to capture the ghosts with, and a device that flashes when you are close to a ghost.
After you talk to the woman (I think her name’s Daphne Dreadnaught), go look for the ghosts. The Brown Lady is on Skullduggery Island, main street. Sweet William’s Ghost is Shrink Ray Island, main street. Deogen is on Steamworks Island, in the museum. The Headless Horseman is outside the factory on 24 Carrot Island. The Bell Witch is inside the Trading Post on Wild West island. Use the detector device to see how close you are to each ghost.
*Non Members are stopped after you catch 3 ghosts*
After you catch all of the ghosts (you need to touch them with the net thing, the EMF or whatever it’s called shows how close you are), go back to Daphne’s lab. She says “Oh, you’ll get what’s coming for you”. Then she unleashes all the ghosts and tries to use them to con

If you don’t like Poptropica why are you even on a blog all about it? Just because you think something is stupid, that doesn’t mean the people who DO like it are stupid. Everybody has their OWN opinion..

Shesh,poptropica stoper,use some MANNERS!Just because you hate something does NOT mean some others have same your opinion. Wait-SC is right.Why are you even ON here? Please,use some manners! Saying something is stupid is just as mean as teasing my friend for beliving in dragons! >=0

Poptropica stoper,you can think whatever you like,but we have the right to still think what we like.All we must do is know the facts.And I agree with beefy seal.Don’t tease others for what they belive in.

Poptropica stoper, you would get along well with my oldest sister. She doesn’t see the appeal. Strange. I like it, but she doesn’t. Also, Neat Coyote, just because someone isn’t using capital letters, it doesn’t mean they are failing english, just maybe they might prefer not to bother doing all that trouble. Also, poptropica stoper, I am a straight A student, and I play Poptropica all the time.

COME ON! EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINONS SO WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY THINGS LIKE THAT! i agree with neat coyote keep your nastiness to yourself beacause seriously you are like my classmates teasing me for liking animals!

POPTROPICA STOPPER! I understand why you are on here, to get us to stop playing Poptropica, but we all have brains! God gave them to us for a reason! And they are being used in a PERFECTLY FINE way! Some parts of Poptropica are educatinol! I respect your opinon but you need to learn to respect other people’s opinons! AND LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE INSTEAD OF BUGGING OURS!

Sorry here’s the rest:
Then she unleashes all the ghosts and tries to use them to conquer Poptropica. You have to capture them all before time runs out (you have one minute). One you get all of the ghosts, your poptropican takes the ghost hunter suit from Daphne Dreadnaught so she can’t scare anyone else with her ghosts, and you win.

|1. go to ur ghost story island tab on ur island items ( quicker if ur there already, it already shows)| |2.talk 2 the ladie and go to tab (shown in 1.) and activate net.| |3. once thats done. look for where the ghosts are on the folder (in items box) and look at different ghosts at different islands| THATS ALL FOR NOW!

Curses, curses, curses. I am a member and I am completely stuck on the actual island. I just gave the Hemlock Herald the ghost evidence and deposited the $50 dollars. I saw the ghost and now I am stuck. What do I do now?

I think this island was amazing, but I do wish the Creators had focused a bit more on horror, rather than romance. Though of course, they do have to think of the six year olds.
Overall, I think I likey a lot.
Um, 8.5/10 because it was decently long, had a surprise ending, and annoying/awesome sound effects.

By horror, I do not mean more voices asking “Are you looking for someone?”
THAT was pretty scary. I was like “AHHHHHH!”

I don’t think that this is mentioned, but when you look up the archive towards the end, one of the boxes in the background to the left is labeled Balloon Boy Articles, as reference to Counterfeit Island.
